    Yeah, I can’t see any practical benefit for mixing square dancing with target practice. We aren’t in the 1700s when it made sense to rotate firing lines to allow soldiers to load their musket.

    Correct. It is of no practical value as a drill nor as some kind of technique for mutual protection or…anything. It appears designed to maximize the risk of accidentally shooting your partner.

    Yes, it is to handicap themselves and prevent the target from feeling too outmatched so they don't run away

    You laugh now, but just look at their gear, their coordination, their movement, how swiftly they switch positions, aim and fire. It takes a special kind of person to pull it off like that.

    What you see is a very minor accident. That hat costs maybe $5 to $50 to replace. It happens to the best of us - as shown here.

    I'm guessing if they are stuck in a hallway or something and getting shot at. 

    If you both have body armour then I suppose it's a way to minimise damage across both people. It would also mean you're constantly firing from the same target so people are less likely to peak. 

    But yeah, IRL this would be an extremely last resort move.
